The Centre of expertise on child sexual abuse (CSA) has published key messages from research on children and young people who display harmful sexual behaviour (HSB).The research looks at: what is known about children and young people who display HSB; HSB and the internet; effective assessment of children and young people displaying HSB; effective interventions; and preventative approaches. The NSPCC has developed an evidence-informed framework and accompanying multi-agency audit tool to help local areas to assess their practice, processes and leadership and to develop and improve their multi-agency responses to children displaying HSB. The NSPCC Scale-up Unit offers support package that helps local areas to undertake the audit and implement the framework effectively in their area. For more information contact: hsb@nspcc.org.uk
